What happened, Lord?

I was racing through life, leading groups on outdoor trails, working in a reputable job in the space program, leading non-profit organizations, speaking, writing--the consummate multitasker. My goal was always to glorify God and point people to His wonders in creation and salvation in His Son Jesus Christ. Then I got in trouble at work for sharing my views on intelligent design. I was demoted and humiliated.Then I sued my employer for discrimination and retaliation. Then I got fired.Then I took my high-profile case to court, resulting in five-week trial reported around the country.Then I lost the case. One judge ended my hopes of vindication, with no explanation.Then I got cancer.What happened, Lord? In these pages I will share my thoughts on my new trail: a trail of trials.
